Yale University physics and astronomy professor Priyamvada Natarajan always wanted to be an explorer, and she knew that in order to navigate properly, one must have an accurate star map. As a cosmologist, she specializes in detecting invisible masses of dark matter based on what we see here on Earth. These "gravitational lenses" have both puzzled and intrigued scientists since Einstein first predicted their appearance. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vGfCObPnOlg&feature=youtu.be

Do we make conscious decisions? Or are all of our actions predetermined? And if we don’t have free will, are we responsible for what we do? In our latest course, FREE WILL AND NEUROSCIENCE, Florida State University philosophy professor Alfred Mele argues that free will is still alive and well as he critically analyzes experimental data. https://worldscienceu.com//free-will-and-neuroscience-alf/ #worldsciu

Yale University physics and astronomy professor Priyamvada Natarajan's latest research sheds new light on dark matter, with the potential to upend the whole dark matter paradigm. Tune in on Wednesday, September 16th to our next Live Session to find out how. Join Brian Greene for a live Q+A at 11:00am EDT.
